Rmcess, congrats on your new BX! I think I have the weight thing figured out thanks in part to other member's ideas. I just took my grill guard off and welded a 2 x 2 inch I.D. female receiver hitch to the lower 3/8" plate. Now I can put a ball hitch in it as well as other things that I have made to fit the 2x2 receiver hitch on my truck. These include a homemade heavy duty "hitch hauler" type platform which should work well for hauling 2 washtubs full of tree seedlings around while planting with the tree planter. I also have a 2 speed hand crank winch mounted to some 2x2 tube that could slide into the hitch should I need something to pull me out of a hole in the woods.
Now I am going to weld up a vertical post on a piece of 2x2 steel tube to stack barbell weights on when needed. Thanks folks for the idea about the barbell weights!
Regarding the tree planter, its something a friend and I put together awhile back for planting tree seedlings. Hopefully the little BX will be able to handle it as it is quite a heavy contraption....
